idea-board: the smart way to brainstorm across a network

about idea-board

There are many programs (e.g., NetMeeting, MSN Messenger, CVW) that offer a
shared whiteboard application; and there are some programs that support
mindmapping. But there are no applications that I've seen that intelligently
combine the two concepts to allow real-time brainstorming/mindmapping by a
group of people (with version control) that results in a usable mindmap and
outline. idea-board is envisioned to be a project that fills this need. It is
in the early stages of requirement writing; and I will be seeking programming
assistance to speed its development.

Planned/envisioned (subject to change):Platform: as portable as possible; must minimally work on
WindowsLanguage: need to investigate this Architecture: currently envisioning client/server architecture Security: minimal--the application is currently scoped to be run
behind a firewall; will try to architect it so that secure channels can be
easily added later.
